Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the prevention or treatment of low renin hypertension by administering an endothelin antagonist.
  • Hypertension has a variety of etiologies. Due at least in part to this, the success of a pharmacological agent in treating one form of hypertension does not necessarily indicate that that agent will be successful in treating another form of hypertension.
  • Renin is a protease which cleaves angiotensinogen to form angiotensin I, the latter which is then cleaved by a second enzyme (the angiotensin-converting enzyme or ACE) to form angiotensin II.
  • ACE angiotensin-converting enzyme
  • Administration of a pharmacological agent which inhibits renin or ACE, or which antagonizes the angiotensin II end-product of the cascade (“All antagonist"), can lower blood pressure and provide a route for the treatment of this form of hypertension ("essential hypertension”) which affects a large portion of the hypertensive patient population.
  • Endothelin antagonists which are compounds capable, inter alia, of inhibiting the binding of endothelin peptides to endothelin receptors, are useful in the treatment of endothelin-related disorders. While certain such compounds have been described as having utility in the treatment of hypertension, the present invention provides a method employing these compounds specifically for the treatment of low renin hypertension.
  • the present invention provides a method for the prevention or treatment of low renin hypertension in a mammal, comprising administering an endothelin antagonist to said mammal in an amount effective therefor.
  • the endothelin antagonist employed may be any compound capable of inhibiting the action of endothelin peptides, especially, endothelin-1 (ET-1), endothelin-2 (ET-2) and/or endothelin-3 (ET-3).
